In a decisive move to strengthen administrative efficiency and bolster local security, the Executive Chairman of Mosan-Okunola Local Council Development Area (LCDA), Hon. Akindele Adunni Opeyemi, has presented a new fleet of official vehicles to councillors, management staff, and security agencies. The presentation, which took place at the council secretariat shortly after a stakeholders’ meeting on the revived monthly environmental sanitation exercise, signals a renewed commitment to service delivery within the Alimosho axis.
The distribution of the vehicles reached various critical arms of the local government, with beneficiaries including the five councillors led by the Leader of the Legislative Arm, Hon. Tosin Babatunde Afuwape (SNR), as well as the Chief of Staff, Hon. Tolulope Falope. Other key recipients included the Council Manager, Mr. Joseph Abiodun; the Council Treasurer, Mr. Azeez Abiodun; the Nigeria Union of Local Government Employees (NULGE); and the Police Tactical Team of Area ‘M’ Command, Idimu.
Dignitaries and political leaders from across the LCDA were on hand to present the keys to the recipients. Among the notable figures present were the pioneer chairman of the LCDA, Hon. Abel Badejo; Engr. Bosun Oduntan; and Hon. Bola Afolabi, the Special Adviser to the Speaker of the Lagos State House of Assembly on Women Affairs and Poverty Alleviation. Also represented were the Community Development Committee (CDC) through Alhaji Tajudeen Fajobi, and the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN), represented by Secretary Ajeboriogbon Irekunle Samuel.
Addressing the gathering, Hon. Akindele explained that the initiative was designed to equip officials with the necessary tools to perform their duties with greater speed and professionalism. She emphasized that improved mobility is central to enhancing timely responses to the needs of residents and urged the beneficiaries to use the vehicles responsibly to ensure the smooth running of council affairs.
The gesture was met with high praise from the legislative and management teams. Hon. Afuwape, speaking on behalf of the councillors, pledged their continued collaboration with the Chairman to move the LCDA forward. On the security front, ACP Tokunbo Abaniwonda, the Area Commander of Area ‘M’ Idimu, expressed her gratitude on behalf of the Commissioner of Police, noting that the support would be used judiciously to enhance tactical operations. She concluded the event by calling for increased public cooperation, urging residents to remain vigilant and support security agencies in the ongoing fight against crime.
